Innes Mitts

It was a particularly frosty South Canterbury morning and as I sent my kids out to wait for the bus I realised, to my horror, that they had no gloves or hats on. What a neglectful knitting mum! So off I went to design a pair of mitts. I’ve named them after my eldest’s middle name, who was in turn named after his Dad’s Poppa. A good strong Scottish name, which also happens to be an excellent place to wear these cozy ribbed mitts.

These mitts are worked in a 2x2 rib, so they fit like, well, a glove. This pattern is written for three sizes. The small will fit a primary school aged child, the medium a small woman or older child, and of course the large will fit a wider hand. They are so simple to make, with an easily remembered pattern repeat and the instructions are clear and detailed, without being too cluttered with extra words. Happy knitting!
